This is an update to, and continuation of, the out-of-print 9th edition of my guidebook WEEKEND ADVENTURES IN SAN FRANCISCO & NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. It consists of short chunks of travel throughout Northern California that you can easily digest. More great weekend adventures await at my BERKELEY AND BEYOND website at www.berkeleyandbeyond.com.

The Lighthouse Deli 28 S. Washington St., (209) 532-1631. M-Sat 11-3. Featuring a lighthouse-themed decor--including lace curtains with a lighthouse motif—this sweet spot has table service and a large selection of sandwiches. Popular items include housemade pulled pork topped with coleslaw (made even more delicious with an additional slap of barbecue sauce), a fried-shrimp po’ boy, and a southern muffeletta. Not real hungry? You can order just half a sandwich. A variety of burgers, fish & chips, salads, and both housemade soups and chili round things out. I especially liked the sides of Creole potato salad and crunchy fries.
